What different versions of Windows look like in 8K at 500% scale

Plenty of other YouTubers such as Come on Windows have done 500% DPI scaling videos, however they have used normal resolutions such as 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 which results in gigantic UI-sizing, so the main focus of the video ends up being more about how big the UI is than the DPI scaling its self and it can be unclear whether the breakages are caused by the DPI scaling or the large UI.

In this video I used a resolution of 7680x4320 with 500% DPI scaling, which actually results in normal UI-sizing (equivalent to 1536x864 at 100%, or 1920x1080 at 125%), so any breakages are caused by the DPI scaling its self.

I recorded and uploaded this video in 8K.

What quality are you watching this video in?

[uselesscraftys]

Your 8K is So beautiful 🤩, i love your videos.

[innerdiscarchive]

Actually, I only use lower resolutions at 100% scale than higher resolutions with higher DPI Scaling because though it may result in slight blur in the screen, it's better than broken UI such as things not scaling properly, icons getting bitmap scaled or getting stretched or items getting cut off.

[adawoj]

You really good at explaining thank you

[World_of_OSes]

How broken would you like your UI?
Windows XP with 500% DPI scaling: *YES*

[Phonimator]

Surface 1's fans just spin faster when playing 8K.

[Nintendokater]

I use 4320p at Windows 11 at 500%, and some scales within software is just software Gore :D

[enderbo]

I commented from Windows XP through Mypal

8:13 Wondering why Windows 7 looks unreal on 8k compared to Windows XP and Windows 8.1

[chrislinuxtutorials]

Nice video World of OSes! You should make a video about how different linux desktops(distros) look like in 8K!

[skinnybones]

To mimic this scaling size on a 1080p device, just change the scAILING TO 125% (also my favourite scailing)

[Teky_T]

IS WINDOWS XP JUST WINDOWS 10 WITH SKINS

[nathanyellowstarthegoanimator]

0:06 Windows xp looks better on 8k rather than 1366x768

[tobyisawesome]

17:27 It's called Acrylic
Also why do you have Scratch installed

[inzaghiposumaalkahfi]

8:12 Why in this Video doesn't have Windows Vista?

[MSWinNT]

Maybe you should set the font to extra large and also change the size of the theme to it's max, then see xp in 8k experience.

[RandomContentInc]

Suggestion: What happens when the battery runs out on different OSes?

[misiu]

This is Virtual machine? How you set this resolution? You have phisical monitor 8k?

[SupBakonz]

What if you upgraded windows from XP, to Vista, to 7 to 8, to 8.1 and then 10, 11 while on 8K with 500%?

С учётом лимита в VirtualBox по видеопамяти для Windows XP (256 МБ) Кажется что видеокарта не справляется с отрисовкой 8К-дисплея
